On alot of drums that i have done i have noticed that where the hub comes through the center of the drum tends to rust and cause the drum to not be able to come off easily. Try some pb blaster and a stiff wire brush then beat the heck out of the drum edges from the back side working all the way around the outside.

NO Mods it's only a matter of money now though.

use some common rust penatrant and a big hammer, hit around the outer edges and if necessary use a screwdriver/prybar to carefully pry the drum from the backing plate.

You people make me sick! There is an adjuster (in the back)to release the shoes from the inside of the drum.....read your Haynes manuals.

If you don't have the brakes on then you don't have to release the shoes from the drum to get it off.  But after thousands of miles of rust you do have to pull on it a bit to get the drum off.

Just finished em, there was no reason to use the retracting thing a hammer fixed it, they were rusted to the hub, i guess i never hit it hard enough before i bent one spring a litte bit tho. Guess I get to order that part from the dealer tomorrow.

I did too. Rotors, pads, shoes, and one wheel cylinder. If you mean replacing the drum part on the inner part of the car behind the brake shoes, then maybe. But you DO NOT have to release anything other than taking your wheel off to get the first part of the drum off. Atleast on a 1996.

Still don't understand what I am saying.
